DEVON AREA SEMINAR - 10th May

It was fantastic to see such a strong turnout, with over 50 participants coming together to train, learn, and push themselves.

A huge thank you to Master Clare Matthews VII for delivering the seminars throughout the day—your knowledge and enthusiasm made it a very enjoyable experience for everyone.

The seminars were packed with quality training, covering:
🥋 All 24 patterns
🥋 Pre-arranged sparring
🥋 Free sparring drills
🥋 Breaking techniques

The day was also a proud milestone for the UK Taekwon-Do Association, as this was the first UK seminar conducted by a Welsh Female Master —a significant and inspiring moment for everyone involved.

The Devon Area Black Belt session was particularly special, with female representation across every rank from 1st Kup all the way to 7th Dan Master —a brilliant reflection of the strength and growth within the area.

👏 Thank you Miss Michelle Harris V Dan for organising such a well-run and successful event.
